Also released is information regarding certain features each version of the legend edition will contain, as well as the standard copy as a pre-order bonus.

The standard pre-order bonus comes still with some nifty items, as you get 5,000 VC, 10 MyTeam packs, and MyPlayer apparel. However, to get any of the Shaq exclusives, you have to order a “legend” edition of the game. In terms of last year’s pre-order bonuses, it seems that this year, there is a lot more digital content to go around.

As for the subject of gameplay, we’ll have to let father time play this out as we get more information. I’m sure E3 will give us some more insight on what to expect in the latest installment of 2K. However, we do know that features such as MyCareer. NBA 2K18 will release for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
